VO for iOS does require an iPad2 or better, and we've now added that requirement as the first line in the description. Unfortunately, we thought the game was configured to not "appear" on the App Store for the iPad1, but it ended up showing up.

As an emergency measure, we're also trying some last-ditch efforts to actually make the game run, to some extent, on an iPad1. We have no idea if they'll work or not (or how well), and we have no iPad1 for testing. If we succeed, the iPad1 will still not be an officially supported device, but we're doing what we can to offer some value to those who already purchased the game on their iPad1.

We're very sorry for the misunderstandings, and doing what we can to mitigate them.

arf has an iPad 1, perhaps toss him a tesflight key and let him try your last ditch efforts to see if they worked?

turns out Arf doesn't even know what he had and actually had an iPad 2....n00b

what? it's not my fault apple does a terrible job labeling these things. :P
it just says "iPad 16GB"

Ok, I have an iPad1 and got it running -> http://www.vendetta-online.com/x/msgboard/2/27397
Ah, and you need a jailbroken Device....
It does not look as good as on better hardware but it runs.

should probably sticky this.

Ipad1 ios no jailbrake.... Frequent crashes, video and gfx settings lowest but still crashes a lot. Nice game though. Was able to finish basic and advanced trainings and couple of missions. Still courier missions impossible on ipad1, because of crashes. Wish you good luck guys with this game! Dve

Also set full load on startup which seemingly resulted in not being able to startup at all.

If you change settings to the point of not be able to start up, then you'll have to uninstall the app and reinstall to reset the settings.
